I spent a good amount of time with the little old lady down the street that tutored the neighborhood kids for a small fee. It helped and I got through the school, but it was a real drag, I can tell you that. She smelled bad, like old moth balls and her teeth were always, well, just nasty. Just what a teen aged boy wants to spend time with after school.

From what I understand you can go to tutorvista.com  where they offer folks Free math help and Free homework help for a large variety of subjects, K -12 and even up into the college years. Pretty cool huh? Pass the word it’s all good!

I know that there is a lot involved with today’s computers and I have a lot to learn. But living the life that I do, on the farm and all, I don’t have all that much need to know so much of what is out there these days. My kid brother is the computer whiz of the family, he has taught me a good amount of things that I have found enlightening, just wish he could come around a bit more than he does at this point. I’m sure he would know all about retargeting companies and remarketing and all that goes along with that issue.

These old vintage Desk Lamps have been in the house since I can remember and I know that my mother really cherished them, but I’m afraid that they are in need of being replaced at this time. I really don’t want to go out and run from store to store in order to find a new set of lamps, so this weekend I’ll be searching online to find some to purchase. A much easier task that having to run into town.

Since it would make sense to buy one of the new Low Voltage Halogen Lamps, in an effort to reduce the energy being used thus reducing my electric bill each month, I’ll be looking for a pair of these to use. This isn’t something that I planned on doing over the weekend but I do need light in the bedroom and there isn’t an over head light in there to use.

I used to be able to help my nieces and nephews with their homework when they were in elementary school. But as soon as the started middle and high school I have to tell you that became pretty useless, especially in the math area. If I don’t have a calculator in hand I’m pretty much in hot water these days.

On day I’d like to be able to take some college classes, but they will be on subjects that I have an interest in, like history. Too bad I wasn’t interested in history back in my school days because history is fascinating to me and I’d like to learn more in a formal class room setting one day.

I’m still learning so much about computers and am grateful that my kid brother knows so much about today’s computers and the World Wide Web, I’d be in deep trouble if not for him. He knows all about colocation, dedicated servers and managed hosting issues that I know absolutely nothing about. I just wish he had more time to spend with me, but he is married with children and his time is precious as most people’s are these days.

So I’ll keep trudging along the best way that I can. With the holidays coming up we are all going to be busier and busier each day. Not something that I’m looking forward to and I don’t think that I’m alone with that mind sent!

This week there has been a change, instead of the usual Monday morning pick up, we have been notified that it will now be a Tuesday afternoon pick up. No big deal but it’s something that I have to adjust to after all these years.

In my opinion there is no news program better than the Today Show on NBC. The reason that the Today Show is my favorite news program is because it is one of the first news programs that I can remember ever watching. Jane Pauly and Bryant Gumbel have now given way to Matt Lauer and his cohorts. Another figure that I can remember very well from those old days was Gene Shalit and his movie reviews. As a matter of fact, Gene still makes an appearence on the current show every now and then.

Then there is none other than Willard Scott and his recognizing of people who have reached their 100th birthday. Still, the Today Show in my opinion delivers the morning news like none other and is the best among the major networks. There is nothing better than turning on my satellite TV and watching the Today Show each and every morning. I found some really great satelite tv deals, so it’s nice to really use them! It has been a tradition that has gone on in my households for many years and will be for many years to come, regardless who the host of the show is.

My cousin was recently in town and he needed some new clothes. He lives in the middle of nowhere in Iowa. There are no malls for 45 minutes and it is almost impossible to go clothes shopping anywhere except at Walmart. He decided that since he was in town we needed to go to the mall to find him some new clothes.

Before we left for the mall, I made sure to set my first alert alarm. Once we got to the mall, he could not decide which store he wanted to go into first. Finally, we ended up going into a store that sold hats. I thought that was dumb. Who needs hats for school? Next we went into Buckle. This store is somewhat unique because it has personal shoppers for each customer. It took him over 90 minutes to purchase two shirts and a necklace. The shirts were nicer for the times he was going to have to dress up for presentations. Still, I have never spent thirty minutes per piece of clothing in any store. Back to school shopping drives me insane!

It is so cool that so many of the older cars are making a come back. Mustang’s right now seem to be ruling the road, once again, and now I’m seeing some pretty cool Chevy Camaro that are making a come back. These newer models are great to see making a comeback and it appears that there are plenty of parts available. CARiD is one of the places that you can find the chevy camaro accessories. They have been in the business since 2003 and are based out of Edison, NJ. My buddy relies on them a lot when he needs custom and OEM parts for his many projects that keep him busy day in and day out. Check out carid.com if you have the need.
